  • Title: [Therapeutic occlusion of an erroneously implanted aortocoronary venous bypass using transluminal balloon embolization].
    Author: Jost S, Simon R, Amende I, Reil GH, Herrmann G, Lichtlen PR.
    Journal: Z Kardiol; 1988 Nov; 77(11):746-8. PubMed ID: 3264976.
    Abstract:
    Today, therapeutic occlusion of blood vessels can be performed not only by surgical ligation, but also by various transluminal embolization techniques. The use of hardly steerable emboli (e.g. metal coils or gel foam) is, however, associated with the risk of embolic displacement into the circulation. The present case describes the embolization of an ACVB-graft erroneously implanted to a cardiac vein, by means of a catheter system with a detachable silicone-rubber balloon (Bard-Parker mini-balloon system).
